I am looking to find a good gift for Christmas for a woman in her late 50’s and she really likes to cook and I have the idea of update her old Food Processor to a new one as a Christmas Gift, but I am not sure if Cuisinart is consider to be a good food processor or Magimix by Robot-Coupe is consider to be a better one, I am open to other gift suggestions who likes to cook what is a good electric tool that a good cook consider essential nowadays.

I have both the Magimix and Cuisinart. I already owned the Cuisinart and when I graduated Culinary Management, I got the Magimix as a gift from my job. IMO, they are comparable, so whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong.
The Kitchenaid Mixer is always a good gift too if she doesn’t have one.

Robot-Coup is a good brand but tends to be on the expensive side, but usually last a long time as they make equipment for professional use, i.e. Restaurants, and can handle a lot of use and abuse. So if price isn’t an issue i would go with the robot-coupe.

I used to work in the kitchen of an upscale country club, and that Robot-Coupe sucked. It constantly broke, to the point where mgmt. didn’t want to pay to have it constantly repaired, so we had to slap a thick magnet on the side of it to get it to work.
Cuisinart is a very good brand, but I’ll always stick with my KitchenAid food processor. I use it often and have for the last 11 years and it endures. If it broke today, I’d have another by tomorrow.
